But he's promoted Cooper so I guess he has one ball - like Hitler

Did he ever have them? When he released the papers showing he was advised against his pension raids, he promptly legged it abroad. At a party conference, he legged it on discovering pensioners were demonstrating in his direction. Backed off calling the election (thank God he did - one year of him's bad enough)

Ironic he wrote a book about Courage

If they're bringing Hain back into government - I hope they count the cutlery first.

Yeah, and now Buff Hoon has gone too.
Never rains but it pours.

Guido is out to lunch. Thank you for acting as his substitute.
Meanwhile Hoon has gone! Oh dear, what a shame, never mind.

Byrne Chief Secretary ... We are doomed.

Tories taken control of Lancashire and Derbyshire. Many many Labour MPs who last night were muttering for Gordon must now be feeling very worried.

Cooper and Harman have more balls than the rest of the Cabinet - combined.

@Madasafish

Harman is one big self hating set of balls.

Is he measuring them between forefinger and thumb?

When did Hoon go?

Where has he gone?

Does Gordon know?

He did not say goodby; was it something that we said?

Will he take our money (his expenses) with him?

No, logdon, he's a few sizes down from that at Polo mint diameter.

James,

Quick question about Mandelson staying put. Surely Brown is now in a difficult situation with the part-privitisation of the Post Office.

If he could have moved Mandelson to the Foreign Office then he could have put this policy on the back burner.

But surely he will have to go full steam ahead or he will make Mandelson very unhappy. And Mandelson is the last person he wants to make unhappy at this point in time.

Wait a minute! With the enthronement of Alan Sugarpuff surely the Cabinet now has two Balls and a Prick. I think I can see where this is going....
